Estimated reachable area over the road network. Real range varies with rider weight, hills, tire pressure, temperature and how hard you ride.
Two numbers explain this scooter. The first is 11,019 ratings — twice as many as anything else on this site, in either market. The second is 33.3 lb, which makes it the lightest thing here.
Those two facts are related. It is light because it is modest: a 250 W motor, 15.5 mph, and a 36V 5.2Ah battery that works out to roughly 187 Wh — by a wide margin the smallest pack on this site. That battery is most of the weight saving. If you want to carry a scooter up stairs, this is the trade you make, and eleven thousand people have decided it was worth $249.99.
There is one genuinely clever piece of design: the tires are hybrid. Pneumatic at the front, where it cushions the ride, and solid at the rear, where most of your weight sits and where a puncture is most annoying to fix. Most scooters go all-solid (harsh) or all-pneumatic (punctures). Doing one of each at this price is a real decision by someone who has thought about it. It also has cruise control, which is rare down here and genuinely useful on a long flat stretch.
Now the honest limits, and there are several. With 250 W and a published 10 % climbing capability, this scooter will struggle on anything you would call a hill — 10 % is a gentle ramp. There is no suspension at all, so the front tire is doing all the cushioning. And the range is short: the listing says 12 miles in the title and 9-12 miles in the bullet, so we use 9.
That range discrepancy isn't the only one. The bullets claim a 4-5 hour charge and the spec table says 6. Neither is a scandal, but on a listing with eleven thousand reviews you would expect someone to have tidied it up by now.
Buy this if the deciding factor is that you have to pick it up. For anything else, the Hiboy S2 Pro is 2.6 lb heavier and better in every other way.

| 11,019 ratings | The largest sample anywhere on this site, in either market, by a factor of two. Whatever else is true of this scooter, more people have judged it than anything else here |
|---|---|
| The lightest here | 33.3 lb. That is 2.6 lb under the Hiboy S2 Pro and 8 lb under the S2 MAX, and it is the difference between carrying it up a flight of stairs and dragging it |
| Hybrid tires | Pneumatic at the front for comfort, solid at the rear so the wheel that carries your weight can't puncture. It is a sensible compromise and unusual at this price |
| Range: the listing contradicts itself | The title says 12 miles and the second bullet says 9-12 miles. We use 9, the low figure, as our methodology requires |
| So does the charge time | Bullets say 4-5 hours, the spec table says 6. We use 6 |
| Battery | 36V 5.2Ah, about 187 Wh. That is by far the smallest battery on this site, and it is exactly why it weighs what it weighs |
| Cruise control | Unusual at this price and genuinely useful on a long flat stretch |
A summary of the reviews published on Amazon.com as of 2026-08-21.
4.2 out of 5 from 11,019 ratings — the largest sample on this site by a factor of two. Students and short-distance commuters dominate the positive reviews, and the recurring praise is exactly what the specs predict: light, folds easily, stable, brakes well. The negatives are split between arrival defects — a jammed front wheel comes up more than once — and riders who expected more from 250 W on an incline.
